Quick Design Checklist
In order to reduce the no-load input power of TOPSwitch-HX
designs, the V-pin (or M-pin for P Package) operates at very
low current. This requires careful layout considerations when
designing the PCB to avoid noise coupling. Traces and
components connected to the V-pin should not be adjacent to
any traces carrying switching currents. These include the drain,
clamp network, bias winding return or power traces from other
converters. If the line sensing features are used, then the sense
resistors must be placed within 10 mm of the V-pin to minimize
the V pin node area. The DC bus should then be routed to the
line sense resistors. Note that external capacitance must not
be connected to the V-pin as this may cause misoperation of
the V pin related functions.
As with any power supply design, all TOPSwitch-HX designs
should be verified on the bench to make sure that components
specifications are not exceeded under worst-case conditions.
The following minimum set of tests is strongly recommended:
1. Maximum drain voltage – Verify that peak V
DS
does not
exceed 675 V at highest input voltage and maximum
overload output power. Maximum overload output power
occurs when the output is overloaded to a level just before
the power supply goes into auto-restart (loss of regulation).
2. Maximum drain current – At maximum ambient temperature,
maximum input voltage and maximum output load, verify
drain current waveforms at start-up for any signs of trans-
former saturation and excessive leading edge current spikes.
TOPSwitch-HX has a leading edge blanking time of 220 ns
to prevent premature termination of the ON-cycle. Verify that
the leading edge current spike is below the allowed current
limit envelope (see Figure 53) for the drain current waveform
at the end of the 220 ns blanking period.
3. Thermal check – At maximum output power, both minimum
and maximum voltage and ambient temperature; verify that
temperature specifications are not exceeded for
TOPSwitch-HX, transformer, output diodes and output
capacitors. Enough thermal margin should be allowed for
the part-to-part variation of the R
DS(ON)
of TOPSwitch-HX, as
specified in the data sheet. The margin required can either
be calculated from the values in the parameter table or it can
be accounted for by connecting an external resistance in
series with the DRAIN pin and attached to the same heat
sink, having a resistance value that is equal to the difference
between the measured R
DS(ON)
of the device under test and
the worst case maximum specification.
